Handle Bar Tape Turned into New Wheels
 
So went to LBS to buy some new bar tape and ended up walking out with a set of Shimano DA 7850 carbon clinchers. They had been used twice for a grand total of 150km. Origional owner couldn't stay on the road in any kind of wind as he is really light. Couldn't walk away without them in my hand, can't wait to ride them, will give ride report after I get them on the road.

That's strange, how did they manage to do that?

Score. Whatever you do don't tell them. Don't even go back for the bar tape.

After reading my origional thread realize it sounds like I stole them...hahahah Well I did pay for them just not as much as I would have for retail.

Cool, I once went in to get a new seat and then a few weeks later, left the same store with a whole new bike. Going to the LBS can be dangerous and expensive.
